    Hi, Number 138 checking in for the first time in ages! Sorry I haven't been around.

    My current total stands at £533.00 and I aim to have it at £1k by December. It should really be higher but I haven't prioritised it like I should have. I'll do better from now on though.

    Welcome to BlackFrosting who is #194 and evo5819 who is #195.

    Checked and my EF is down to £488. Need to start building it back up again as I liked the idea of having £1,000 for emergencies.

    £70 added to EF and £2.70 added to holiday fund. Met with a load of friends at a local pub for a sausage and beer festival. It really is amazing the effect anti-depressants have on alchohol. It increases the effects by x2.
    Had 3.5 pints of cider,but it feels like I have had 7.

    The sausages were nice and tasty and am now sitting at home awaiting delivery of a takeaway.

    Keep chipping away folks, we will soon all hit the £1,000. Next target is 200 members.
